SMS Backup Restore Parser

2016-09-02T03:54:59+00:00

I use this SMS Backup and Restore application on my android phone to export all my text messages. What I really want, is to just get all the pictures and save them to a better location and to delete all the messages. Unfortunately, this application only creates one large XML file with the images Base64 encoded into the XML.

I do this when I want to factory reset my phone but don't want to lose all the media files people have sent me.

I created this script to pull those images out and place them in a folder. It is rudimentary. The file names and directories are hard coded... whatever. It does what I need, take it if you want.
